    Solution

    Android users in India can now get alerts for earthquakes with the help of a new system launched by Google. The system uses the sensors in your phone like the accelerometer to sense an earthquake and warn you in advance. The Android Earthquake Alerts System is already deployed in many countries across the world helping provide an early warning when earthquake shaking begins. But Google is now bringing it to India in consultation with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the National Seismology Center (NSC).
